NGC6543 Cats eye nebula

NGC 6543 NCats eye nebula
This is a small planetary nebula that measures only 20 arc seconds in diameter. Each pixel of resolution in my setup is only about .5 arc seconds. Thus the nebula is only about 40 pixels in width. This was taken with my RC14.5" at 3000mm.
This is the same nebula taken by the Hubble
